This feels almost like a false flag sort of extreme comment, knowingly violating the rules, just to make it seem like Slate Star Codex supporters are this kind of discourteous, bro-y, insulting aggressive group. Maybe it’s not actually a false flag, but let’s be clear that it utterly doesn’t represent the kind of values most SSC readers subscribe to. While I don’t like the original comment’s criticism of why people like SSC, that in no way justifies this type of extremely inappropriate response, full stop.
